Let's start the draft from October 15. Any objections? I'll make it a bit later if you think we need more time to get ready. That gives us time to get 3 more teams in and everybody to start planning their draft choices, as well as completing the draft before the opening night tip off.

Just so everyone knows, I'm out of town and basically computerless from October 14-19/20th I can fire picks off to someone if need be. Basketball is a lot more fickle, IMO, than football, so I'm less attached to drafting. If we can get a draft order by then, I can figure out what to do. I'll likely send a list of positions to someone rather than specific players, at least for later rounds.

I'll get to work on it this weekend and try to keep it as simple as possible. I'll do my best to rank players as thoroughly as possible, but will predominantly draft by position. Hopefully this will go around the same speed as the football draft so I'll only miss about 4-5 rounds, maybe less.

I'll also try to get it to you by about Tuesday night so if you have any questions for me, I'll have a day or so to answer.

For the record, I follow basketball very little. Probably because my home town (Tampa/Clearwater) doesn't have basketball (sure there's the Magic but whatever...) I'm much more of a football/hockey guy. I'm hoping this will help get me interested in baseketball this season - but don't count on me to beat up on anyone this time around.
